good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen,

　　i am glad to be here. my topic today is: reuse, recycle, and reduce.

　　as we all know, with the development of our economy, we are using up our resources and at the same time our environment is badly polluted. as environmental protection volunteers, what shall we do? my answer is reuse “, recycle, and reduce .” all of us should keep these words in mind and take actions to protect our environment.

　　wherever we are, at home , at school, we all can put it into practice. for example, when we use paper, we’d better use both sides of it instead of only one side. day by day, we will reduce the amount of paper we need. that means we will protect many big trees from being cut down. what’s more, when we deal with rubbish, we should learn to separate it, because some of it can be recycled. in this way, we can save our resources and reduce pollution around us.

　　above all, it is time for all of us to protect our environment. i believe as long as we try to reuse, recycle, and reduce things we need, we will make a better world for you and for me. thank you.
